    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys! As ever, many thanks - G59    
    • Hmm, that's strange how they got my email then.  I assume the below is ok to send to DCBL, Nicky?  Hello, I am writing regarding our ongoing dispute and the upcoming court claim reference xxxxxxxx. To ensure fairness and transparency in our communications leading up to the court hearing, I request that you use postal mail exclusively for all further correspondence related to this claim. Please refrain from sending any communication or documents via email. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or need clarification, please feel free to contact me via postal mail at the address provided above. Yours sincerely, xxxx
    • In the SAR, I received the original application, lots of computer print outs, yearly statements from 2013 and the new emails regarding my complaint. They sent me a £50 cheque after I chased them for the SAR after the 30 days. They said they was waiting for me to respond to an email (which I never received) before sending the SAR
    • classic P2G. I'm sure dianne and Lesley will pop an email to you at some point.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi!

 

I'm a newby and have another question to add to the ongoing MacKenzie Hall saga....

 

My partner was recently contacted by MH demanding immediate payment of an outstanding debt of around £1100. My partner has tried to find out who the original creditor was, but is as yet none the wiser, so needs to invesitgate further.

 

In the meantime, he offered MH a repayment but they stated they do not set up repayment plans/arrangements and he needs to make the payment in full. they state they will give a discount if he does this by monday, saying he can pay "just £750" in full to clear the debt.

 

My partner is not disputing the debt - he just needs time to look further into it as he thinks it may be from around 1999 when his marriage dissolved, and has offered them a decent repayment of £120 pm starting this week! they point blank refused and said it's "going to court" (nothing has actually gone to court yet and there's definately no judgement). they've also said they've contacted DVLA and obtained details of his vehicle (worth a mere £700) and they are going to come and collect it!

 

Can anyone advise on what to do now? My partner is the kind of person who pays without question, as doesn't like being chased for money, but I've asked him to hang on until we know more. Basically, does anyone know what to do if they refuse our repayment plan/offer, as we're not in a position to pay £750 by monday. I know the CAB can help, but we're looking for some advice until we can get that ball rolling.

 

Thanks in anticipation. :confused:

MH are talking bovine excrement. They cannot take his car whether or not it is worth 700 quid or 7000. Only a court can order the seizure of property by appointing Balliffs and only then if you default on a CCJ.

 

The first thing you need to do is establish

 

1. What this alleged debt relates to

 

2. If a CCA agreement exists and if MH have a legal right to be chasing you for any money.

 

 

This debt may well be Statute Barred and therefore totally UNENFORCABLE

 

 

DO NOT SPEAK TO THESE MUPPETS ON THE PHONE AND DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENT OR AGREEMENT TO PAY THEM UNTIL YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED THE FACTS

MH will accept anything on a purchased debt!

 

Don't contact them or make any offers. Find out all the details firstly.

 

As ODC says, they're talking wet. I would love to see them pull up and start removing a car.

 

I could just about take one with high court writ, so i assure you they can't.

 

Read ODC's sig - "Never believe all the DCAs tell you"

Lol...what planet are MH on? :D

Take it from me as ive had dealings with this lot - they are just an irritating bug of a company with no legal powers whatsoever & just like to threaten/bully etc...:rolleyes:

Please be assured that they will go away after a while once they realize you arent easily intimidated.

Do not pay any such amount of money upfront - demand that they cease all contact with you & let them take their "legal actions" - i bet you any money they dont ;)

Is your partner mad?

 

You say he received this demand and doesnt know what it is, yet wants to set up a repayment with an outfit that he doesnt even know if they have the right to collect it, the fact that they have offered a discount of £300 probably means that they have very little paperwork on this as well and not much chance of legally collecting it.

If nothing has been paid since 1999 it is Statute Barred and they can ask for payment but you are not obliged to pay them and they cannot put any marks on your credit records.

NEVER TALK TO THESE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE also dont use debit cards or Direct Debits, standing orders only and if he writes to them dont sign it, print the name.

So how do this MH even trade then?

 

trading standards already shut down one company run by the founders of Mackenzie hall, and rumours say that a number of previous incarnations of his company have closed prior to their OFT revoking their license, although I have seen no definitive proof of this.

 

i've done a FoIA to find out how many people have applied for a credit license, and how many were refused. My impression is that it is possible to get a credit license fairly easily, although this might be unfair.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

hello!!!! im a very paniced right now. i recived the letter yeserday from MH asking me to contact them urgently, as they need to discuss a personal matter, this was to my new adress, so i have no idea how they have found me.they asked me to confirm that i was the person the letter was adressed to, being so naive, i did. they then went on to tell me that i had to make a payment just shy of 3k to clear the debt that they were looking after for black horse, obviously im in no position to pay the amount. they started ranting at me demanding i sum, telling me they cant help, or anything or make and arrangement to settle the debt and hung up on me. i then rang them back and spoke to another person, they said to stop and body kncking on my door to sease good, i would need to pay 20% of the debt, which when asked them, they say its just shy of 3K, not giving me an exact sum, which would work out at £595, of which again there is no way i could pay. so then they go on to tell me, that I have 10 days to find the money. the phone call ends. by this time in litterally pooing my pants, the thought of someone knocking on my doot to take my belongings, oh man!!!! so i then ring them back, to see if they will accept anything to stop any action being taken, i get to speak to an "account manager"which she then tells me, i have to pay at least 25% which is £780. in my panic of despair out comes my credit card and I pay 300, for them hold my account for 10 days!!! now after looking them up, i realise i have been the victim of sever intimidation of a bunch of bullying idiots,, and dont know what to do from here, as iv tecnically reopened the debt!!!!! asnd now they have me credit card details. any advice would be greatly apprecited. i feel like such a fool, for letting them twsit me round their little finger.

firstly your in good hands here. Might be useful to start your own tread and you will get better answers that way. Secondly I would call your credit card comapny get them to issue you a new card tell them the old one was stolen. This will stop MH from been able to get future payments off your card. Now how old is the debt. It might be worth asking them for a cca to see if they actually have one chances are they dont

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Re:− Account/Reference Number 4563210025897412

 

This letter is a formal request pursuant to s.77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. I require you to provide me with a true copy of the credit agreement relating to the above account, together with any other documentation the Act requires you to provide.

 

I expect you to comply fully and properly with this request, within the statutory time limit. You are reminded that should you fail to comply with my request, the provisions of s.77 will apply.

 

If it is your view that you are not the creditor, s.175 of the CCA 1974 applies in the case of a simple assignment, and places a duty upon you to pass this request to the creditor. In the case of an absolute assignment, you are a creditor as defined by s.189. If you contend that you purchased the rights but not the duties of any agreement, you are reminded that s.189 of the Act is clear that an assignment is of both rights and duties.

 

Your attention is drawn to ss.5(2), 3(b),6 and 7 of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPUTR).

 

I enclose a postal order in the sum of £1.00, which is the statutory fee. Note that these funds are not to be used for any other purpose.

 

If you are unable to comply fully and properly with this request, you should confirm this in writing at the earliest opportunity, and certainly within the statutory time limit for compliance, and return the fee.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully

Mr A N Other

Do NOT panic of Muck Hall. They are the worlds most useless DCA. They are so pitiful that they even make Lowells look good and we all know how crap they are. They are widely regarded as a joke company. NEVER ever speak to them on the phone as they are so full of nonsense and empty threats. Send them the CCA letter. That should be the end of it as you will totally confuse them.
